So finally "Zarqawi" is dead. This was the interesting news that greeted us yesterday morning (or was it yesterday? I've lost track of time ...) I did not bother with the pictures of him who taught because personally, I've been saturated with images of broken bodies, bleeding.
have been different reactions. There is general consensus among family and friends that they were not wrong, whoever he is. There are also doubts about who he really was. Is it there? Was it really the great terror the Americans made him be? When did it really? People swear he was killed in 2003 ... The timing is extremely suspicious: just when people were really getting fed up with the useless Iraqi government, Zarqawi is killed and Maliki is hailed as the victorious leader of the busy world! (And no Iraqis celebrating in the streets-concerns for electricity, water, death squads, tests, corpses and extremists in positions of power are prevalent now.
I've been listening to reactions-mostly pro-war politicians and the naïveté they reveal is astounding. Maliki (the current Iraqi prime minister) was almost mareándose when he published the news (tried his best and saved). Do we really believe that this will end the resistance against occupation?. While there are foreign troops in Iraq, resistance or 'insurgency' will continue-why is it so hard to understand? Why is this strange idea?
"A New @ s Day for Iraqis "is the motto of the current Iraqi puppet government and the Americans. Just as it was" A New Day for Iraqis l @ s "on April 9, 2003. And it was" A New Day for l @ s Iraqis "when they killed Oday and Qusay. Another "New Day for Iraqis @ s" when they caught Saddam. More "New Day" when they made the draft of the constitution ... I'm starting to think it's like one of those questions you do on an IQ test: If " New "equals" more "and" Day "equals" Suffering ", what means" New Day for Iraqis @ s?
How do I feel? To hell with Zarqawi (or as Bush calls Zayrkawi). It was an American creation-came with them, and no longer need it, apparently. His influence was greatly exaggerated, but he was the justification for each family who killed their troops and military aggression. First it was WMDs, then Saddam, after Zarqawi. Who will be next? Who will be the new excuse to kill and arrest Iraqis? Or is that excuse is no longer necessary?. They are free to do whatever they want. The Haditha massacre was a few months ago the test. "We no longer need it most," our elderly neighbor commenting story as if he were swatting flies, "are fifty Zarqawis in government."
So now that Zarqawi is dead, and as, according to Bush and our Iraqi puppets he was behind many of the suffering of Iraq, things will get better, right? Car bombs will fall, will end the ethnic cleansing, the siege and military attacks will end ... This is what we were promised, is not it? This sounds very good. Now, who would have to kill to stop the death squads of the Interior Ministry and the trigger-happy foreign troops?
